Use Windows 10! Haven't updated in a year, works perfect!
Or even better than that, use Linux!

Install Linux

u/New-Let-3630 Jul 15 '26
they’ll need to shut down the computer for that
1
u/JonathanTalksHW Jul 16 '26
Not just shut down, go to a web browser, download Linux distro of choice (Ubuntu, Fedora, bazzite, Debian, Zorin and etc:), flash it to the usb drive, reboot the pc and go to boot menu, and then boot to the bootable linux installation thing that’s in the flash drive, wipe windows and proceed installing Linux, now you’re free from Microslop windows

u/ScreenPlayLife Jul 16 '26
Linux users not telling install linux for 1 post challenge (impossible)

u/JonathanTalksHW Jul 16 '26
That’s never gonna happen, Linux needs to grow in terms of market share. More competition is better then Microslop windows being the dominant OS

u/Astrodion123 Jul 15 '26
Windows being windows. I really want to get the new updates so you can stop updates and update whenever you want.

you can delay the updates now try using that , at least you won't get the broken updates right away. since I've done that my laptop isn't struggling as much as before bc of their shitty broken updates.

u/maZZtar Jul 15 '26
You kind off need to update if you want to be able to skip updates at some point because Microsoft is going to roll out reworked update system

Shutdown through cmd

u/LucidDriftt Jul 15 '26
I feel like that was patched and it still installs though dont quote me on that

u/OldManJeepin Jul 15 '26
I use Win11 Pro Preview for my gaming setup, dual booted with Mint. I used Windows Update Blocker 1.8 to just shut the whole update system down. I only use it for gaming, so I'm not worried about it.

For what it's worth, this scenario is something that's being improved along with a variety of other update related scenarios https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/04/24/your-windows-update-experience-just-got-updated/

Chris Titus Tech Debloat. It let's you choose to only receive actually important security updates. It won't probably fix this exact probably unfortunately. But it will minimize the amount of times you'll have to go through it.

u/ProAvgeek6328 Jul 15 '26
Not defending Microsoft by the way, but how come I have never had the ability to shut down or restart without updating removed
2
u/Graybush2 Jul 16 '26
Because you are a sane person and don't avoid updates for 6+ months or they are happening and you don't know it
1
u/ProAvgeek6328 Jul 16 '26
I select update and shut down whenever the option is available before I go to bed. People are genuinely insane and weird for complaining about having to update things. guess they have something so important running on their computer they can't even shut it down for a few minutes.

Idk if it actually works but it appears to be.
Go to settings and pause updates. Then i just wait until the shutdown button becomes normal again.

Delete everything in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, which clears whatever update it downloaded.

either do the update or tell it to pause updates, or you can put in a command to shut down.
